Default GTO spares

im thinking of using some for the track. i am going to need some adapters , but they will clear my brakes and i think they look pretty good. whats yalls opinion? and how much time do you think i would pickup from the 8.5" wide wheels now that weigh in at 76# per corner? and do you think i could run the temp tires on them, i mean full weight camaros do!

why would you want to run a GTO spare? Maybe I'm missing out on something, but I fail to see how that would benefit you.

you gonna put the temps on the front right? they look fine but i would put some tires on them that are rated for a decent mph.
